I'm caring and compassionate. Well organized and a self starter.

I'm new to Connecticut. I have extensive experience in different dietary needs, as well as physical and mental needs.
I do require my clients be at least partially mobile, and able to assist in their maneuvering. An exception would be if I am not required to help an immobile client move.

I've been an active caregiver for the past 15 years or so, both as a live-in and live-out caregiver. Most of my working experience comes from outside of the US. I started working as a caregiver because needed a job and earn money(do not let yourself fooled by anyone that says otherwise ) and as a single mom of three you can guess that i had no choice in choosing what i considered at that time that i would like. During the years i earned so much more than money. I started out with a job and ended up with having more and more family members as each and one of the patients that i assisted become in some way my mother/father, my daughter/son and a challenge to build up my empathic skills . Ended up understanding that caregiving is not a JOB although it's paid. You treat not just people but a very fragile class of people. They definitely need our assistance in daily chores but that is not enough , they need somebody that does not define them only trough their disability. Caregiving it's not just about taking care of a body it is a 360 degree assistance which consider the person in a holistic way (body,mind and spirit)
As a caregiver i might fail in some chores(nobody is perfect) but one thing that i am proud of is that as much as i could i tried to bring joy. Hard but necessary was when I had to assist patients in an point where life comes to an end. In some cases I sing their favourite song, hold a hand, give a caress to the person in need and explain to family members that it is perfectly normal to be scared or to suffer and to assure them that they are not alone.

I became a care giver to help people that can't help themselves as they would want to. I like being a care giver because it gives me a chance to work with wonderful people an to make a difference in someone's lives it also shows me a lot of illnesses an mental status of some people in the work. Being in the nursing field has taught me so many different skills in all kind of situations, I have experience in dementia care, elderly care, and care of the mentally challenged.

I became a caregiver because I've always liked helping family and friends. I like to encourage people and give peace of mind knowing their in good hands. I've became well organized and more understanding of different circumstances. I am patient, have time management skills, and a team player.

I have the ability and capability of knowing my cleint and their needs. client become a family to me. I really like what I do, so I'm dedicated to making my Seniors feel comfortable and at peace. it is hard enough for our seniors with all they go through - pain, confusion, isolation and loss of their personal freedom. empathizing with my seniors make me able to understand them and they are able to depend on me in a positive way.
I took care of my grandfather. my mother being the only child, I started admiring the positive energy that she always had when she is doing personal care for her ageing father. my mom always tells me " remember you will grow old and will need help one day so, let empathy be your number one emotion" this was when my love for caring for seniors started.
I love that I meet clients from all works of life and able to offer helping hand to them for them to feel good and comfortable as possible.
there are so many stories in my care giving experience that make me happy when I think about them. but things that I hear my client say about me is that - am a breath of fresh air, an angel, and also they are clad they made the right decision.
care giving is me and I'm care giving.
